Bill Clinton is a racist

and his wife was complicit in his racist maneuvers.

I do not understand some peoples justification by saying,

"At worst, the Clintons are race baiting, but that is distinct from being racist"

By what possible logical argument can you find a distinction.

I do not want anyone I support to win at the expense of my conscience in this matter,
this is not about politics on the backside of Bill Clintons tactics,
it's about morals and what is right - regardless of any presidential election.

What if one wanted to get elected in Germany in the 1930's they could and did play the anti Semitic card without
actually saying "anti Semitic".
Do you really believe their is a distinction.
Do you really think Bill Clinton can camouflage his intent here,
which is to divide us based on color.
You can not sugar coat crap like this.

Their will be deep seated consequences for what the Clintons have done -
not least of which may be getting a Republican elected because of their actions.

I know many, many people, black, white and brown,
who are deeply offended by the Clintons race baiting.
They are switching their vote from Hillary and Bill -
or staying home for the general.

I use to support Hillary until they started this!

Make no mistake -
It was racist

Thank you Mary, really important to the speech!

Teddy trying to slow down Hillary's momentum Hillary's momentum going into Florida, even though Obama's been advertising in Florida.

Threw Billary under the bus

Let this mark the end of The Clintons death grip on the Democratic Party

Let's bury the War Wing of our party and take it back

Nominating speech? Just run the video

john mccutchen, thankfully you're not the one who gets to make that decision. Not you and your elitist, hateful, small band of Hillary haters. It's voters and, mark my words, they know that Hillary is the right choice . Obama is a media creation, a biography candidate who spouts milquetoast rhetoric which appeals to those whose ecomonic needs are already met (unless when Obama plays racial politics). But Obama's going to buried in Florida and on Super Tuesday.

ON DEADLINE: Kennedy dumps on Clintons

By RON FOURNIER, Associated Press Writer

PorkStore

Jonathan Chait crossed the Rubicon a few weeks ago.

I crossed in October 2002 when Mrs. Clinton triangulated her way to stand behind George Bush in his criminal war

There are no do-overs

I made my decision. I voted the morning the polls opened at SF City Hall for early voting

Now I'm a precinct captain 3523 baby

The harvest is bountiful

I was lucky enough to be at today's history-making event. It was electric!

Ted Kennedy is a terrific speaker - really knows how to fire up a crowd.

Normally I'd say "that's a hard act to follow", but Barack didn't have any problem.

Let's turn the page on old-style politics and get on with the exciting prospect of fulfilling America's promise.

Not "anti" anyone, but definitely "PRO" Obama!

Mike,

I read the NOW piece of Kennedy's endorsement. I also note the NOW-NYS does not have it on their website, but no matter.

Of course, according to their logic, since I have a penis, I have no right to discuss HRC at all, since I'm just another white liberal male who fears a woman president.

Uh huh.

Disgusting story, and currently being lambasted by dKos. The guys and gals over there are working themselves into a lather over this one (when not extolling their hate on various Senators over FISA).

To the ward heelers and Rezko, since I have done some research on this, I'm interested to find out from y'all what it is EXACTLY that Obama did wrong.

Did he not properly vet a campaign donor?

Did he trade favors for campaign contributions?

Did he buy a property from Rezko at lower than FMV (fair market value)? By the way, this is completely false on its face. Go do a search of the Chicago Tribune (and the Sun-Times).

What is it that Obama did wrong? Or is it simply that because a campaign donor turned out to be dirty is the problem?

If that's the case, shall I re-direct you to the Clintons' collective histories?

Oh wait, that's right. The Rezko robo-posters won't answer my questions.. Besides, I have an eye on Taylor Marsh's blog too, and I also note that she doesn't even reach the "probable cause" requirement for a warrant or a grand jury indictment in her case against Obama.

Just a smear reasonably related to one or two small tidbits of fact. The same kind of tactic taken by Rush Limbaugh on a regular basis. As a liberal, I am unimpressed.

Thanks to ANON for proving my point..or one of them

That list of old endorsements? Not many recent ones are there?

There is a reason for that. This campaign is all about Bill and has from the start tried to crush any insurgency before the first ballot was cast.

They lined up all the usual hacks in SC too..all of em

Now they're trying to steal the nomination with their Michigan/Florida scam

It is time to turn the page on the Clintons and take back our party

Si se puede

I wish Anon had shared a name, I'd extend a more personal ThANK YOU

You know, I used to be an Obama supporter, but I didn't know the former governor of North Dakota and the former Indiana Secretary of State were endorsing Clinton. I'm rethinking it...

There are many fine people on that list and we look forward to welcoming them aboard the Obama campaign when they're ready!

Know hope.

Also, interesting to note that MSNBC has the following leads:

"Kennedy Clan Endorses Obama"

and on the politics page, more simply:

"Kennedys Endorse Obama"

Were I an HRC supporter, I would be incensed at the misrepresentation of both headlines. Of course, since I support Obama, I am feeling pretty smug.

Greg D, ditto on that. Gore won't endorse anyone even though I am sure that he would endorse obama. It is well documented that he cannot stand the clintons.

Let's clarify Josh's incorrect statement:

The Kennedy FAMILY did not endorse Obama today. Three of them did.
And Ted Kennedy won't help with returning Reagan Democrats to the party at all. In fact, Republicans will USE that as a negative.

The ROBERT KENNEDY branch of the Kennedy family has always been supporting Hillary Clinton, and feel she's the best candidate to get things done.

THOSE are the facts, even if Josh Marshall reported them selectively.

With all due respect.

I was there too today and it was amazing. More almost because of the line to get in which stretched for blocks and blocks. And many of those who were waiting were happy and enthusiastic and hopeful. As for the speech itself, it really did feel like a torch passing ceremony--not in a cheap way--but you got a sense that Ted really believes in this guy. Sure you could say that the Kennedy's are split, etc. but it kind of misses the point which is that Obama does seem to inspire in this generation what JFK inspired in our parents. Endorsements matter, but this one is particularly important for what it represents--a president who gets people excited about politics again.

With all due respect, there is no comparison when you have Ted and Caroline in your corner.

Here's Jesse Jackson Jr. last October supporting Obama and comparing him to his father.

http://www.swamppolitics.com/news/politics/blog/2007/10/jesse_jackson_jr_cuts_ad_for_b.html

As expected, Mathews is on there slobbering all over the Kennedy endorsement as though Kennedy's opinion was straight from God. Maybe he thinks we didn't notice but Kennedy endorsed Kerry too and who did Mathews vote for?? BUSH.

I don't know where Mathews gets off acting like the talk piece for the Democratic party when he voted for BUSH TWICE.

Yet, there he is all worked up and excited, drooling all over the Kennedy endorsement. He hates the Clintons so much that its pathetic.

In fact, I'm so sick of Mathews and Scarborough in their attempts to shape viewer opinion that each time they start, I have to change to CNN. Hardball is getting WORSE than FOX the last several months.

Their attempts to push people towards McCain and Obama is so apparent and shameless that it does not qualify as a NEWS show.

DR...Obama is a moderate Democrat. Would you agree?

Obama a "moderate" democrat??!! LOL LOL LOL

Drinking the koolaid I see....

Wasn't it just about one week ago, today, that Hillary said that: "Senator Obama is frustrated"? Recall that? Who is frustrated now, Hillary!

Ted doesn't just say that Obama will be ready on Day One, he laughs after saying it in a very pronounced matter, obviously conscious that he is rebutting the Clinton campaign's central experience argument.

I'm amused by the dismissal of all the endorsements for Hillary Clinton's bid being dismissed here as old news.

Speaking of old news, there's Obama's initial opposition to invading Iraq - then there's today's Obama showing his support for the war today.

Unless he's decided to continue to oppose it by not voting for the funding of it ala Dennis Kucinich, right?

It's a good thing that Ready-To-Run-From-Day-One wasn't present in the US Senate at the time of the Iraq War Authorization Vote while at the same time considering his planned 2008 run like Clinton was (and did) back then, eh?

Well, since he's gotten into that US Senate, he's distinguished himself from her on the war, uh, exactly how again?

Well, let's just see who's frustrated a week from this Wednesday, shall we?

Enjoy the impressive, well-earned and decisive victory in South Carolina. Obama's race-card was well played and effective there - irritating even that docile old SC US Rep. WhatsHisName over the Obama campaign's well-thought-out MLK/LBJ "Hillary dissing the King" fable - but the table's getting ready to run rather quickly now - with Florida and Michigan the only things between now and then. (How's Hillary doing there again?)

Call them a portent of what's about to hit. It's called a message from the reality-based community. Just because you're buying the "candidate of change" crap from the "politics-as-usual-is-Illinois" guy - you're just setting yourself up for major disillusionment if he does happen to prevail for the nomination and get elected President.

It's not like the second coming of Trotsky or something. But, it's a really cool thought! Not just a positioning by a slick campaign. Not to worry.

But Obama's "political godfather" Rizko thrown in jail today.
Rezko, Obama machine patron thrown in jail flight risk, read the details since TPM will not post
http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/762838,rezko012808.article

enjoy

anyway, the good kennedy side, Bobbies, went for Hillary.

"The difference is in style, where Obama is certainly much less aggressive and more incremental than Hillary."

Loki, go tell people who lost their jobs, go tell the Katrina victims, go tell the mess that is this country that we are giving them "less aggressive and incremental" leader who will soothe them with speeches when they have to stand in bread lines, and wait for shelter spaces.

I was there and it was awesome. My favorite part of Ted's speech was the "ready from Day One", it was awesome.

I'm tired of someone with LESS experience as an elected official than Obama, and nothing else in her experience that makes her especially suitable for the presidency, making the claim that she doesn't think he has enough experience. Seriously, why do I care what someone with crap experience says about her candidate's experience? Here you have someone with more experience than all of the frontrunners COMBINED putting that experience bullshit to rest. It was awesome. Oh, not to mention Bill had even less experience (and he was younger) when he ran in '92.

For those of us who were inspired by John and Robert Kennedy would say this is quite an endorsement.

Remember the Clinton's are the reason the Democrats hit the skids. There was no reason for Bill to lie, especially since no one but really crazy people cared about his affair.

The fact remains that the Clinton's are the classic dysfunctional couple. If Hillary is so into "woman's rights", why does she have her husband running for her?

What is the point? A long list of endorsements doesn't make Hillary honest, give her good judgment, are make her capabled of being president.

Don't you understand that it isn't the fact of the Kennedys' endorsment it is the substance of it. Obama represents change, the future, a vision of a better nation, and the unity to accomplish it.

The Clintons are dividers, hatemongers, they are the Bush-Clinton past. Its over.

Mary said "The ROBERT KENNEDY branch of the Kennedy family has always been supporting Hillary Clinton, and feel she's the best candidate to get things done."

Get things done, like give them jobs?

DRinOH,

I'm not sure if you're still on here, but to answer your question I would say that he is a little farther to the left than most other dems, but not much.

I'm not sure why you would say this. What would be your reasoning? Maybe it was a toss away line before the rest of your post which pretty much agrees with what I think. And what most Obama followers cannot see.

Truth is they are in ecstasy over a politician who resembles Bill and Hillary in more ways than you can count. And that shouldn't be thought of as a bad thing. It just is.

As I've stated many times before in here...love the candidate, but spare me from his irrational, unthinking followers!

"Only problem is that Robert Kennedy's family endorsed Hillary."

Except for his, uh, wife. She called Obama "our next president"

6/14 Dr. Angelou Announces Endorsement of Clinton in a Video Tribute

Jan. 28, 2008 Dr. Angelou announces endorsement of Senator Obama

Teddy's endorsement will be poison south of the Mason-Dixon line. I can see the Republican ads now....liberal/endorsed by Teddy Kennedy....

He's been demonized (unfairly, I agree) for years, and his name still carries a lot of negative weight.

How many of you are real Democrats? If you are, you'll stop trashing the candidates and focus on the issues (and winning in the fall).

The board reads like Freerepublic.com

Here's a thought. Bill Clinton knew exactly what he was doing when he compared Obama to Jesse Jackson: he painted Obama not just as the "black" candidate, but as the candidate of the left wing. Then the Kennedys jump in, and Obama is now officially the "far left" candidate, which leaves Hillary as the "centrist" candidate, just in time for Super Tuesday.

With the excitement that people feel today over this endorsement, I'm sure Bill is frothing at the mouth tonight!

you billary supporters are so pathetic. half of you voted for bush in 2004.

Bill, Bill, time for bed. Stop playing with the computer. You caused enough damage already.

Great speech. It could be historic and we could all be witnessing history. Unless the clinton cult prevails and we get to relive the 90's. I'd rather gamble on the future.

Also, I really liked the kansas governor's speech. It was excellent. The state of the union was boring and totally upstaged by today's events. No wonder clinton was no where to be found after the speech. I wonder where the mr. bill was?

It is interesting and discouraging to see how Hillary's attack dogs always cast any development in the most negative terms possible.

Clinton cheerleader Greg Sargent, a freequent example, says "You can see that Kennedy's shots at the Clintons..."
Shots?

Kennedy is making very positive, constructive statements about Obama and his qualifications. Obviously, they are framed to counter many of the misleading, distorted, dishonest Clinton statements about Obama. Most Democrats with any integrity agree, the Clinton attacks had to be countered. Kennedy however, did not attack the Clintons. He could have, essily. He chose instead to be positiive.

Whne Sargent characterizes Kennedy's praise of Obama as "shots" at the Clintons, however, he is attempting to minimize the significance of this historic, ringing endorsement.

Kennedy is talking about Obama, about the Kennedy legacy of aspiration, vision and service, about the nation, about the future.

Shame on Greg Sargent for his cynicism in trying to caste this uplifiting, galvanizing momment as one more round in the same, destructive Clinton-style poliical warfare. SHAME! The nation is sick of the Bush-Clinton politics as warfare and rejecting it. The war correspondents at TPM/EC are slow to get the message.

The population of "vast right wing conspiracy" "sexist" "Cliinton haters" grows steadily every day. It now includes the vast majority of Black voters in South Carolina, the Kennedy's, literary icon Toni Morrison, all of whom who were once Clinton supporters. hmmmm
Message here?

Mrs. Bill Clinton will definately need two terms if she's going to get revenge on her rapidly growing list of "enemies." Or maybe the Clinton era of the politics of personal destruction will end with an humilated exit by its founders.

Drill down into the data in the Survey USA poll in CA and you find out some disturbing things about Obama supporters:

A plurality voted for Bush in 2004 (and about 20% appear to have voted third party or not at all), and more are against abortion, believe global warming is made up, are against stem cell research, and are against labor unions.

On all these positions, a majority (or near-majority of at least 49%) of Hillary supporters are on the actual liberal side of these issues. You may think the guy is a progressive, but clearly his bipartisan rhetoric has convinced a lot of folks that he will be catering to the caveman crowd. And this is CA; one can only imagine how repressive his supporters are in purple states. Now, the question is how does he stay in power for eight years without giving the whackjobs some payback? Obama is a dangerous choice for president. Yeah, he will be a different kind of Democrat. I think its called a republican.

No wonder Obama wants to shore up his liberal cred. But not sure a Kennedy endorsement is going to play well with a large number of his current supporters. And no self-respecting liberal is going to drink this kool-aid once they have the facts.

The Clintons are trying to return to White House. Senator Kennedy is not running for president. Try and grasp the difference. Senator Obama is the new, change agent, and Senator Kennedy endorsed that, and did not claim that Senator Obama was going to restore Camelot. Obama is campaigning to be a change agent, and Hillary is campaigning to live up close and personal, every day, for eight years in Monica and Bill's romper room. Now that would be truly living in the past. Think about that.

The beautiful irony is that the Old Guard Kennedys (Teddy, Caroline) endorsed Obama, while the New Guard Kennedys (Robert Jr., Kerry) endorsed Clinton in an editorial to the LA Times yesterday. So who's in fact looking back to the past and who's looking forward to the future? Of course this delightful distinction is lost on the single-minded East Coast media (including TPM), which haven't even mentioned Clinton's Kennedy family endorsements.

Sigh.

An endorsement from the Lion of The US Senate, and the daugher of JFK, far outweights the news heft of the support of Kathleen Townsend, who got trounced in her bid for Governor of Maryland.

When the Big dog barks, no one hears the little one.

Heretic - I think you're missing the point.

A majority of Reagan supporters disagreed with him on many issues - abortion included - they voted for him anyway, as did conservatives. If Obama can get liberals, moderates and a few conservatives - even those who disagree with him on many issues - he stands a far better chance of being elected than Hillary, who can't entice many voters who aren't already for her.

We spend way too much time arguing over ideology - most Americans aren't ideologues. Like it or not most people vote for a candidate based on whether they like him/her, whether they trust him/her and whether they think he/she can do some good (whatever that means to each individual).

Face it - Bill Clinton got elected presenting himself as a moderate Democrat. That (plus Ross Perot) got him elected, not being a "pot-smoking draft-dodger." It's also why Hillary voted for the Iraq War (don't look like a weak peacenik). The notion that being leftwing is viewed as a positive in this country is absurd.

And tell me, honestly, wouldn't you like to hear that Americans of all sides, left-right-center, want to vote for Hillary? To anyone who says "no" I'd say this is the reason the Dems have been in a shables for the last 3 decades. Let's move forward.

You Democrats are sure entertaining.

More please.
